Abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck or dermolipectomy) is a procedure that aims to remove this excess abdominal skin. Treatment of any associated excess subcutaneous fat takes place at the same time.
A distinction is made between supraumbilical abdominoplasties and subumbilical abdominoplasties («mini-abdominoplasties»).
Liposuction is systematically associated for 2 reasons:
allow the preservation of lymphatic vessels,
reduce excess abdominal fat and slim the hips;
Liposuction and pubic plasty are necessary in case of prominent pubis. This results in an additional vertical scar in the pubic hair area.
A tightening of the abdominal muscles can be associated if necessary (diastasis treatment of the rectus abdominis muscles). The advisability of using this gesture is determined during the examination of the abdomen in consultation.
In the event of hernias or associated hernias, a digestive surgeon specializing in this type of intervention will intervene during the operation to carry out their treatment.
